Team-wide Jobvite automation via VS Code Copilot

Commit your recruitment tools to your repository so every developer on the team has access. By adding this Jobvite MCP Server to your team's workspace config, anyone can run `list_jobs` to query active requisitions. Developers can check specific hiring requirements using `get_job` without leaving their code. This keeps everyone aligned on hiring priorities without chasing down recruiters.

Edit and update candidate records directly in VS Code Copilot

Keep your recruitment database clean without manual overhead. Your team can use `update_candidate` through VS Code Copilot to correct profile details as they review technical assessments. When an applicant passes a coding test, the developer can tell Copilot to run `update_application_status` to move them to the technical interview stage.

Build job requisitions directly from your workspace

When your engineering team needs a new developer, draft the technical requirements in your editor. VS Code Copilot uses this MCP Server to run `create_job` to push the approved requisition straight to Jobvite. If you need to add an external referral, run `create_candidate` to insert them into the pipeline. Copilot maps the referral details directly to the active role.

Setup guide

Set up Jobvite MCP in VS Code Copilot

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
